and designed by the Father to give out grace to his people for so Christ speaks of himself I came down from heaven not to do mine own wil but the wil of him that sent me Now it is the will of God that from Christ believers should receive both justifying and sanctifying grace Our sanctification is Gods Will and Christ came to fulfil that will of God for so speaks the Apostle Sacrifice and offering and burnt-offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not neither hast pleasure therein then said I Lo I come to do thy will Ob God by which Will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Iesus Christ once for all So that the Will of God the Father and the Will of Jesus Christ are the same in the bestowing of grace Jesus Christ received a commission from God the Father to bestow grace upon his people and will you see how that Commission runs you shal finde it in the Prophet Isaiah The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek he hath sent me to binde up the breken hearted to proclaim liberty to the Captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound Christ had a Commission under his Fathers hand and Seale For him hath the father sealed Joseph received authority from Pharaoh and it was no dishonour to Pharaoh that Ieseph was commissionated to issue out all the stores of corne to the Egyptians in the time of that famine no more is it any dishonour to the Father that Jesus Christ doth bestow and convey grace upon believers But doth not this put the Spirit out of office who is called the holy Spirit and the Spirit of grace because he doth work grace and holinesse in the hearts of the People of God What Christ is said to work that the holy Spirit also doth because by the Spirit of God Christ worketh It is a good rule that the works of the blessed Trinity ad extra are undivided all those works which are external and relative to the creatures as to create preserve redeem sanctifie c. are in respect of the things wrought equally common to all the Persons of the blessed Trinity So that we may say whatsoever things that the Father doth those things doe the Son likewise and those things also doth the Holy Ghost the work of Sanctification is equally ascribed unto all the Persons God the Father sanctifies his people God the Son doth sanctifie his members for he is their sanctifications He loved the Church and gave himselfe for it that he might sanctifie and cleanse it with the washing of water through the Word And yet the work of Sanctification is most frequently ascribed to the Holy Ghost Goodnesse Righteousness and Truth and indeed all grace being called the fruit of the Spirit and the Spirit is called the Spirit of grace and supplication and the Spirit of holinesse and sanctification So our Regeneration is ascribed unto God the Father Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Iesus Christ which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a lively hope And so also we are the children of Christ by Regeneration for in this respect Christ is called the Father of Eternity Behold saith the Prophet in the name of Christ I and the children which thou hast given me and that there the Prophet speaks of Christ is cleare from the application of it to him in the Epistle to the Hebrews Behold I and the children which God hath given me Neither is the Holy Ghost excluded from this working of grace regeneration in us for Christ tels Nicodemus that except a man be born again except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdome of God So it is said that God the Father blessed Abraham and yet the blessing of Abraham came upon the Gentiles through Christ that they might receive the promise of the Spirit By all which instances it doth appear that though there are divers●ties of gifts yet the same Spirit and though there are differences of administrations yet the same Lord Jesus Christ the Author of all grace through the holy Spirit 2. The reason and ground of this why Jesus Christ is the Author Purchaser and conveyer of grace to his People is 1. Because God the Father hath appointed Jesus Christ as Mediatour to transact the great work of sanctifying and saving his Elect 2. Because by this shall the reproach be rowled away from Christ who in his life time was reputed the greatest of all Male-factors and accordingly suffered death They were wont to say can any good come 〈◊〉 of Nazareth God hath therefore given him a name above all names that he should not only be anointed with oyl above his fellows by his receiving the Spirit without measure but that the oyl that was poured upon the head of our High-Priest should run down upon the skirts of his garments and that grace which was abundant in him should also be redundant to his Church and run down and diffuse it self to all his members 3. To manifest that Jesus Christ was the second Adam and came into the world to repaire the breaches which the sin of the first Adam had made For by the fall we did not only contract upon our selves the guilt of Adams sin to take off which we have need of the righteousnesse of Christ imputed but we have drawn upon our selves the filthinesse and pollution of sin to take away the power whereof only the grace holinesse and inherent righteousnesse of Christ imputed to us doth avail and as the first Adam was the Author and conveyer both of the guilt filthinesse and punishments of sin to his posterity so Jesus Christ the second Adam conveighs the life of grace into all his As the first Adam was the author to communicate natural life as he was made a living soule so the second Adam did communicate the spiritual life of grace as he was made a quickuing spirit From the first Adam by natural generation and propagation we receive corruption for corruption so from the second Adam we receive grace for grace 1. Vse of this Doctrine is for Confutation 1. Of the Socinians errour who say that all grace in Christ whether his active or passive righteousnesse was only to qualifie his person and to merit his own glorification without any reference unto us unlesse as an exemplar or patterne But this opinion is sufficiently confuted by this Doctrine by which hath been shown that as all our grace is from Christ so that abundance of grace that is in Christ is for us As the woman hath abundance of milk in her brest not for her self but for her childe and the Sun hath abundance of light not for it self but for the world So Jesus Christ is
